I would love to go to this, and perhaps I might (although, knowing this, it will probably sell out very quickly), but I'm not sure I can go and watch the film again, after watching it again (a DCP). Hopefully the film will be in focus!

So, a very serious post: Phantom Thread's promo photos do not include an image of PTA's brown dress shirt, which is a key production element that links TWBB, TM, and IV. I wonder if it held some sort of sentimental value or was considered a good luck charm or something. At any rate, it was last seen in a photo of Martin Short making PTA laugh on the set of Inherent Vice.

I guess Fifty Shades Freed pushed this out of most theaters.It finally came to my area for a week or two and will gone everywhere close by tomorrow 2/9.I was expecting it to enter the top 10, but I don't think it did.I don't think Inherent Vice made it here. It didn't have any awards push to bring it back.The Master played only one week that I can remember.

$14,000,000+ in 6 weeks is pretty disheartening. (Worldwide, $18M as of last week.) I think it opened in a bunch more theaters last week, so perhaps these numbers will change a bit? Still, isn't exactly melting the charts. Some big-catagory Oscars could only help?

The closest theater playing the film is 48 minutes away from where I reside. It's supposedly coming soon according to my local theater site, though I have little faith there will be a substantially time slot for the film. It makes me jealous of those who live in the big cities that have showings before the rest of the country can see the picture.

Yikes that is disheartening, especially how good it was/DDL.

I understand why IV lost money, but I'm surprised The Master did and this isn't looking good.

I'm hoping that home media sales make up for it/ Megan Ellison still finances him.

There's a 4K blu-ray release up for pre-order in Canada, so that's probably coming in the US, too. If not, same region code anyway.

Good to know-- if they don't do a US one I'll buy from amazon Canada. It's the perfect movie for a 4K release given it was (to my knowledge) online edited on a flat bed/ scanned to 4K, so no uprezzing or anything. Would look incredible on my TV.
